I am a Freshman who is currently in Foundations. I plan on transferring because of this "school". In all honestly the only good things about this school is how it looks and looks is all it has. Most of the faculty are crap. I have gotten three student teachers during my time here and I expect to have real teachers for the price I pay and even the real teachers are very disappointing. Only one teacher impressed me and I will give his real name Hal Wert. He is an excellent teacher. He should really work for a more respectable school. All the students are seen as money here. I have proof for it too.

My first semester someone broke a vending machine and stole everything from it. The school was going to make the freshman pay to replace it. One that's illegal for they have no proof a freshman did it, two from what I heard a random bum broke into it, (security is almost nonexistant except when you don't sign into the computer lab. Yeah people get mugged and hurt while they are worried about whether you signed into the lab.)

A Cable tv box got stolen from the dorms and KCAI was going charge everyone who lived in the dorms 20 dollars to replace it. I'd say about 200-300 students live in the dorms. You do the math. Cable boxes do not cost that much! This school only wants your money. They waste your time on pointless work. The location of the school is terrible. High crime rate and no nearby places for students to go to except the museum which you will get tired of because of the overuse of it as a teaching material.

If you go to this school get out. If you are thinking of going spend your money elsewhere. You'll be much happier.

By the way I know that you can't compare highschool to college but here after my 1st semester I have a 2.6 gpa. In highschool I had a 3.7. My highschool in everyway is better than this college and no it was not easy. Those gpa's are too varied and there is favortism…far too much of it.
